Auburn, meanwhile, has as many draft picks since 2009 as Tennessee and Ole Miss and fewer than South Carolina. Auburn dominated Alabama 19-12 on the draft-pick scoreboard from 2005 to 2008, but Alabama leads 16-9 over the past three years.

That gap grows next week, by which point Alabama could have more first-round picks in the past four years than Auburn's total picks over that period.

Meanwhile, AU players who have been drafted have excelled and have make All-Pro. I wonder if Soloman will ever write a story about those drafted and how they did once they made it to the big leagues. Maybe Bama is the AAA of College Football, a place where players peak and make it to the big show, but never really produce later.
